My original plan was for a shorter run today but I got stuck in cruise mode and decided to keep going on this lonely stretch of trail.

Congratulations and a well deserved recognition for my amazing wife on not only being nominated but received the Special Caring Award from the Bloomington Public School district. We didn’t know she won the award before showing up to the event last night. It was a fun event and interesting hearing the nomination stories of so many teachers (and others) that go way above and beyond to help students.

This one felt like real work tonight but the views were worth it after a busier day than I was hoping for. Now time to reset and it can be water under the foot bridges 😆 (Just bad humor, I know).

Nice evenings like tonight are just great when our good friends kids come over to play some backyard baseball.

Note: None of these kids play baseball we have hockey players, soccer players, runners, dancers, one in lacrosse and one in basketball. ☺️

Legs were a little sore from yesterday’s run as we might have been cruising faster than I should have. However, I went out with no expectation (like I normally do) but decided to stroll down the short nature trail by my house.

Was really nice outside this morning for this run. Glad to help a friend out and guide him though the streets in my neighborhood so he can continue his quest of running all the streets in Eden Prairie. After our run today he is at 94.1% 😱

Woke up way to early today for no real reason so just having coffee with the dogs.. ☕️🐶

After a busy day of manual labor getting the campsite setup it was good to get out for a quick run. I decided to take the backyard trail (as I call it) and it wasn’t as wet as it has been sometimes and it looks like they are making it more like a trail which I am indifferent if I like or not.

Spent the day getting the campsite ready to go for the summer. I had to piece the deck together, level the deck and camper and got the golf cart running. Only thing I couldn’t do was hook up the water but that should be easy next visit. Bummer was most of the day had spells of snow 🌨️😑

Got an email out of the blue asking if I could help create something similar to what I did years go. I still lightly maintain it today so I will have a discussion to see if it can help solve the problem. However, if a lot of rework needs to be done I am not sure I have the coding chops anymore. 🤔

If he liked it or not I dragged my friend along for what should have been a shorter run but I guess I didn’t calculate it correctly and overshot our distance and we got caught in some rain. Fun exploring though and a fun map turned out that was not by design.

Rambling around the streets in the early evening. Wasn’t sure what to expect as I didn’t time dinner right and felt full but overall happy with getting this in before I had to run to some kid activities.

With the sun out today almost all of the snow melted away. I found a little bit on this bridge during my run which had to get cut short due to a text I received from a co-worker who really needed something.. I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was kind of cutting this one close to the wire as I didn’t file an extension. I get I had all day tomorrow but glad to get another year done. 💸

I enjoy watching my youngest participate in track this year but watching the coaches coach I wish I would have helped out 🫣. However, she will miss half the meets so I didn’t wasn’t to commit to something I could fully commit to. So I will just watch from the sidelines 😟

Happy Birthday to my amazing wife who keeps us all organized! 🥳🎂 Probably not exactly how she picture the day with snow and being at a dance competition but hopefully we still were able to make it special for her!

No matter how many dance competitions I go to I still do not understand dance facials. Some of these dancers look like they are trying to catch bugs in their mouth with it wide open the whole time. Not to mention most don’t do the same facials either… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Guess spring, summer, and fall have passed us again… 🌨️

Doing a little electrical work in the shed tonight…

Quicker than my normal run speed this morning because it was raining and I only had a 30 minutes to spare.
